Gabe 'Nandez—the raw New York rapper—joins us on today's episode. Those that attended our Not A Showcase in October already know 'Nandez's sharp talent. The multi-cultural rapper discusses growing up around the world and the craft of creating music as a bilingual artist. 

Gabe introduces us to his longtime friend and frequent collaborator Ibekelia, as well as the street wise Rochester rapper Rigz. We sample London's young, genre-bending scene with captivating tracks from Osquello, KiLLOWEN, and Isabelle Brown.  And we tackle the opposite poles of hip-hop through Velvet Negroni's untraditional delivery to Tanner Molique's mainstream sensibilities.  Gabe also plays his own song, Conneries, from the album Cliquetape.  01 “So I Don’t Feel Useless” by Dianna Lopez02 “La” by Ibekelia 03 "Simulated Void" by Osquello04 "Places" by Isabelle Brown05 “Adrenaline Rush” by KiLLoWEN 06 “The Hated” by Rigz07 "First Time" by Velvet Negroni08 "Like Me" by Tanner Molique09 "Conneries" by Gabe 'Nandez
